New light, comfortable and solid back pack mount for Gopro I came up with.
Turn the speakers on and enjoy:
Yes, there is a leash.
You can see a cord connected to the back pack's grab handle, it goes through the rod to the Gopro.
In case the Gopro disconnects, you should feel the leash pulling the pack's grab handle.
Tried it, but till now the Gopro seats solid on the rod with Gopro's roll bar mount, even in extreme conditions.
I guess there's no handle passes with that on , how far does it stick out off your back?
This rod is about 60 cm long, with it there's no handle passes...
It's not to far out and suits mainly wave riding, downwinders, freeriding and oldschool.
I myself don't do handle passes but friends of mine use a 30 CM long rod for that, but the view angle is different.
Nice one!!!
Love how smooth it gets ones you get a bit of air. Would love to see it just a little lower for the perspective, so it's more over the shoulder @ the horizon. How does it go when you wipe out? Do you have some sort of QR for the backpack? Guess it could be quite nasty if you wiped out, got rolled and bag and pole got stuck in ur lines, death looping kite... usch.
Any chance you've got some wave footage with it? Also how have you attached it to ur backpack? Is there a more solid plate in there that the pole attaches too?
Cheers for sharing!!!
cool, I like how you got pretty steady footage at the end of that long bar - would've thought it would bounce around too much to be watchable. How's it mounted to the backpack?
I've been playing around with a few mounts also, the best one i've found has been the simplest. Just a gopro quick release on top of my harness hook. example footage below
Sweet! Love the "Yeah" at 4.15 hahahahaha!
Looks pretty smooth there, interesting angle too, cheers for posting.
Even though the kite mounts make the rider so far away, I think it'd be sweet if you had three GoPro's running at the same time. One over the shoulder, one on top of harness hook & a kite mount, them intercut b/w the three cam's back in the edit suite.
It's pretty easy to sync up three cams, just need to clap them in to begin with, then sync up in post and intercut b/w best angle at each "Yeah" time. 
Great work with the backpack mount, i'm still a bit suss on the safety side of that one though, but cheers for posting. Would love to see pics if avail.
yeah three cams would make interesting perspectives, but i'm not convinced it'd be as easy as you say- its enough of a time waster having 1 cameras worth of stuff to edit
